IT’S history in the making! Next weekend's Wonthaggi International Film Festival (WIFF) enters its 10th year with an outstanding array of international films.
WIFF was the brainchild of the Keith Stevens, the past manager of the Wonthaggi Cinema. Keith was a projectionist and a cinematographer and had some amazing connections in the film industry from all over the world. He was able to bring in some fantastic films, some even before their Australian release.
Keith inaugurated the first WIFF ten years ago in February, 2010. The WIFF sparked an interest in fine films amongst the local community and the Bass Coast Fine Film Group was formed in order to get an audience for regular screenings of fine films in Wonthaggi. There were forty-six members in the first year and that’s grown to 280 in 2019!
Tickets for all the films are on sale at the kiosk during the festival. Admission is $15 for adults and $10 concession.
